# Can I use infant Motrin for a baby under 6 months?

Canonical URL: https://kintoolkit.com/questions/infant-motrin-under-6-months

For a baby under 6 months, the US Infants’ Motrin chart says to ask a healthcare provider. KinToolkit does not show a liquid amount for this age group.

## What the public reference says

Infants’ MOTRIN 50 mg / 1.25 mL, weight band Under 12 lb (label age Under 6 months): Ask your child’s doctor before using this product. No dose is shown for this range.

The infant name on the bottle does not mean that its chart provides an amount for every infant. Do not select an older age row to obtain a number.

## Check the bottle when asking for guidance

This reference covers ibuprofen 50 mg per 1.25 mL concentrated drops. Children’s Motrin liquid is a different strength. Have the exact bottle and supplied device available when clarifying instructions with the child’s clinician or pharmacist.
